## [Non-Constitutional] ArbitrumHub Evolution: The Next Step in Streamlining Information Access and Raising Awareness for Arbitrum DAO After successfully completing the development of [ArbitrumHub.io](https://www.arbitrumhub.io/), we are excited for the next major step. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/arbitrum1/original/2X/6/62f55904a4c104a534546a0ee176bd7b3b450ca1.jpeg) ### Table of Contents - Abstract - Motivation - Workflow - Execution Strategy - Timeline - Financial Overview - Our Team and Recent Successes - Conclusion Website: [Arbitrum Hub](https://arbitrumhub.io/) Twitter: [Arbitrum Hub](https://twitter.com/arbitrumDAO_hub) Github: [Arbitrum Hub](https://github.com/ArbitrumHub) ### Abstract Building on our earlier achievements, this proposal outlines the next phase for ArbitrumHUB, aiming to solidify its position as the central hub for the ArbitrumDAO community. Our recent progress, detailed in the [ArbitrumHub Platform Successful Completion Report](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/report-announcement-arbitrumhub-the-gateway-to-seamless-navigation-and-exploration-in-the-arbitrumdao-ecosystem/23211), demonstrates our commitment to creating a user-friendly platform for community members. This report highlights our initiatives and milestones, showcasing ArbitrumHub as a reliable source for essential information and community engagement within the ArbitrumDAO ecosystem. ArbitrumHub’s vision is to be the go-to destination for comprehensive information about ArbitrumDAO and its initiatives. We aim to offer a unified platform for community updates, meeting information, and insights into upcoming events. Our strategy includes robust community participation, ensuring stakeholders have immediate access to critical information. This proposal details the next steps, upcoming features, technical enhancements, and the implementation timeline for ArbitrumHub. Our goal is to establish ArbitrumHub as the ultimate platform, underpinned by strong foundations in security, design, development, research, management, transparency, and incentivized community contributions. We will manage the platform and the [ArbitrumHUB Twitter account](https://twitter.com/arbitrumDAO_hub) to ensure the community can easily navigate and utilize all resources effectively. ### Motivation ArbitrumHub addresses the need for a centralized resource within the ArbitrumDAO community. As the ecosystem grows, staying informed and connected becomes increasingly challenging. ArbitrumHub simplifies this by consolidating essential information and resources in one place, offering structured and reliable information. #### Uses of ArbitrumHub: - **Real-Time Updates** : Provides and integrates the latest news sources and developments within the Arbitrum ecosystem. - **Community Interaction Updates** : Keeps the community informed about upcoming meetups and interactions. - **Event Coordination** : Details events and workshops for easy participation. - **Support and Resources** : Offers support for platform-related queries. - **Enhanced Visibility** : Utilizes social media and newsletters for increased engagement. - **Comprehensive Resource Integration** : Aggregates developer tools, grant information, and other initiatives. - **Community Participation** : Designed to foster incentivized community participation and contributions through meets, events, educational resources, etc. - **Ambassador Highlights** : Acts as a central directory to provide updates related to ambassador activities and programs, with direct access for ambassadors to keep all their initiatives in one place for easy access. We have been active in the community for a long time, but when we started, we faced numerous hurdles in obtaining the information we needed. This is a common issue, resulting in the loss of many new members facing this problem. With ArbitrumHUB, this will be a thing of the past, and ArbitrumDAO will attract many new members. This project is crucial for the continuous growth of the DAO. ### Workflow The operations of ArbitrumHub will encompass four workflows related to key activities: #### 1. Development, Design, Management, Security, Uptime, and Transparency **Leads: [@hoomandigital](https://www.hooman.digital/work), with @0x_Buidler and @ChaiT as Points of Contact** This workflow encompasses the following key areas: - **Development** : Continuous improvement and enhancement of ArbitrumHub’s technical aspects. This includes regular updates, bug fixes, and the integration of new features to meet the evolving needs of the community. - **Design** : Ensuring an intuitive and user-friendly interface for the platform, making it easy for users to navigate and find information. This involves regular UX/UI reviews and updates. - **Management** : Overseeing project coordination, timelines, and resource allocation to ensure that all tasks are completed efficiently and on schedule. - **Security** : Implementing robust security measures to protect user data and platform integrity. Regular security audits and updates will be conducted to prevent breaches and vulnerabilities. - **Uptime** : Ensuring the platform remains operational and accessible at all times, with minimal downtime. This includes monitoring the platform and having contingency plans in place for any issues. - **Transparency** : Maintaining open communication with the community about updates, progress, and any challenges faced. Regular updates will be shared through various channels, including the ArbitrumHub blog and social media. [@hoomandigital](https://www.hooman.digital/work) will lead these efforts, with @0x_Buidler and @ChaiT serving as the primary points of contact and coordinating the various initiatives. #### 2. Incentivized Community Contributions and Collaborations **Leads: @0x_Buidler and @ChaiT** This workflow focuses on engaging the community through incentivized contributions and collaborative efforts. Tasks will be divided among community contributors, organized into two initial groups: 1. **Content & Educational Resources Group** : 2. **Research & Ideas Group** : @0x_Buidler and @ChaiT will lead these efforts with contributions from the community, serving as primary points of contact and driving the initiative forward. Weekly collaborations will ensure ongoing progress and alignment with community needs. #### 3. Advisors We will elect four advisors from the ArbitrumDAO community, who will act as important points of contact for gathering feedback and thoughts on improvements. Advisors are required to be experienced contributors within ArbitrumDAO and aware of all ongoing initiatives. Their primary role includes: - Providing continuous feedback to improve ArbitrumHub. - Sharing ideas for platform enhancements. - Participating in regular advisory meetings to discuss progress and future strategies. - Helping to mediate and resolve any conflicts or challenges that arise within the community. #### 4. Weekly DAO Sync Reports \*\*Lead: @ocandocrypto \*\* Angela, who has been voluntarily contributing high-quality reports over the past few months, will lead this workflow. These reports are utilized by the foundation and others and serve as an essential source of information about the weekly DAO sync. Angela will produce up to six reports a month, including: - **Weekly Reports** : Four reports focused on weekly updates and progress within ArbitrumDAO. - **Initiative-Focused Reports** : Two reports each month dedicated to in-depth coverage of specific initiatives taking place within the DAO. - **Data Analysis** : Incorporating data-driven insights and analytics to provide a deeper understanding of community engagement and project impact. - **Community Feedback** : Gathering feedback from community members to ensure the reports address the most relevant and pressing topics. These reports are crucial for keeping the community informed and engaged with the ongoing activities and developments within ArbitrumDAO. ![337867231-70c461dc-3f28-41b4-b0b2-891205d335b5](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/arbitrum1/original/2X/1/1b88513938f700f74406647ef15d5d9cf97c64f2.png) ### Execution Strategy 1. **Platform Development and Security Management** 2. **Establishing Leadership and Roles** 3. **Community Engagement and Feedback Loop** 4. **Content Creation and Management** 5. **Showcasing and Promoting Impactful Initiatives in the Ecosystem** 6. **Establish a Workflow for weekly DAO Syncs** @ocandocrypto , a dedicated contributor, will lead the production of five reports monthly, ensuring the community remains informed and engaged in ArbitrumDAO’s progress.

I like the results of your idea of ​​conveniently providing all the Arbitrum information. However, there are a couple of questions about goals and costs for your second stage: 1. I see only intentions to start and continue to improve everything. This is of course all good, but we all, as a community, must understand how to ultimately evaluate your results in the future. 2. In accordance with the fact that the outcome criteria are unclear, the cost of this work is also unclear. I want to support your project, it is very necessary and I use it myself, but I would like more transparency. I sincerely believe that maintaining a site does not require so much money and I ask you to consider reducing the cost ---

Good observation, I’ll like to chime in on your second question (I’ll leave the first one for @0x_Buidler ). I believe it’s important for project teams to be realistic with their ask relative to runway. Far too common in many ecosystems are teams who make an ask only to keep making subsequent funding requests because they did not understand their working financial models, opex + capex relative to their ask etc. Unfortunately, many of these teams either remain on life support or survive solely on grants. I strongly recommend teams asking for what will give them adequate runway to complete the job, not just enough to make a proposal palatable enough to pass review processes. This ensures vigorous review, and strong projects with a solid key value proposition and good fundamentals are funded, with continuity + growth at their core. The numbers presented are realistic, and the team has proven verifiable capabilities + delivery. **Goals and Evaluation:** Outlined specific goals for the second stage, including increased user engagement (e.g., active users, content contributions) and platform usage (e.g., page views, time spent). Tracking these metrics and reporting them regularly to the community. **Cost Breakdown:** The budget breakdown details expenses for essential aspects like security, development, community incentives, and DAO sync reports. These investments are necessary to deliver a secure, user-friendly platform that fosters a vibrant community. **Cost Justification:** Maintaining a high-quality platform requires ongoing maintenance, security updates, and content creation. The team has demonstrably delivered results on the first phase, and this funding will allow continuity + momentum. The team remains committed to responsible financial management and I believe this budget is realistic for achieving the outlined goals. I do believe there is room to discuss any specific cost areas you might have questions about. If there are any cost-saving measures in place, mention them (e.g., utilizing open-source tools, leveraging volunteer contributions, etc). Alani Kuye ---

Hi @0x_Buidler and all the contributors, Thanks for putting together the proposal and addressing the feedback from us in the hub. While considering the deliverables are great additions to the Arbitrum DAO governance accessibility, we simply consider each budget calculation way expensive and work associated with each budget very vague. For example, what’s difference between the first item and fourth item? Managing and maintaining should include the enhancements and new pages. Why do you need “Community Contribution Incentives” and how do you plan to distribute them? The second item literally mentioned “Reports” but separate reports have their dedicated budget, which doesn’t make sense. What would Advisors do and why each advisor deserves $2k? Also, we believe the sustainability of the tool shouldn’t only come from the DAO. Is the plan going to keep asking the budgets to the DAO to maintain the dashboard forever? How should the DAO evaluate the outcome from maintaining the dashboard? Thanks again for your effort and it would be great to address our feedback before considering to go for a vote. ---

Thanks for your proposal! I believe that we need a hub for all ARB-related information, and you guys are building something interesting. Some feedback: This seems to overlap with a lot of attributions of the ARDC. > [@0x\_Buidler](#): > > **Research & Ideas Group** : > > - Conducting research and gathering innovative ideas to improve the Arbitrum ecosystem. > - Collaborating with leads of various initiatives to aggregate important information for easy access by general users. > - Hosting brainstorming sessions and workshops to foster creativity and innovation within the community. > - **Ideas Exchange** : A platform for community members to exchange ideas, fostering innovation and collaboration. > - **Dev Rel and Dedicated Support** : Dedicated developer relations and support for community members, providing assistance and guidance on projects. > - **Supporting Existing Commendable Projects and Initiatives** : Partnering with other projects within the ecosystem to enhance interoperability and community growth.

Assisting community members in drafting proposals as well. > - **Regular Community Meetings** : To maintain a strong and active community, ArbitrumHub will host regular weekly meetings. These meetings will provide a platform for discussion, feedback, and collaboration across different groups within the community. It would be better if those items are explained in more details. > [@0x\_Buidler](#): > > | Details | Per Month | Six Months | > | --- | --- | --- | > | Collaboration, Reports, Meetings, and Lead (@ChaiT and @0x_Buidler ) as Hosts and collaborators | $17,000 | $102,000 | > | Community Contribution Incentives (Community) | $20,000 | $120,000 | About the “Advisors” role: There is a great focus in getting feedback and engaging with the community, so it seems not really necessary. ---

I like this initiative and think you all have done a 10/10 job on the website design / implementation. However, I worry that this will garner too little of traffic in order to justify the cost. From my experience - people like data. The DAO is also in need of improved reporting. I think if this group is able to chat with Dune and try to strike a deal to host dashboards on [ArbitrumHub.io](http://ArbitrumHub.io) w/ a custom UI would end up driving more traffic and ultimately make it easier to accomplish your goals. Additionally, community incentives could be used towards attracting “Dune wizards” to create queries that provide greater transparency into the DAO e.g. treasury, incentives, protocol specific, etc dashboards. It would also turn [ArbitrumHub.io](http://ArbitrumHub.io) into a tool protocol’s look to leverage and get real-time data across all of Arbitrum into one place. That’s just my two cents - but charts/data are the number one way to drive engagement from people currently outside of the Arbitrum ecosystem. ---

Thank you, @cp0x, @Tane, and @jameskbh, for your constructive feedback. Responses to Individual Comments and Questions: @AlaniKuye: Thank you for your response. We appreciate your engagement and support for the project. **Community Feedback Summary:** The community strongly supports this project and is eager to see it progress to the next steps. As highlighted by @cp0x, “I want to support your project; it is very necessary, and I use it myself, but I would like more transparency.” Additionally, @Tane noted that “the deliverables are great additions to the Arbitrum DAO governance accessibility,” and @jameskbh expressed, “Thanks for your proposal! I believe that we need a hub for all ARB-related information, and you guys are building something interesting.” However, you mentioned two significant points as part of your feedback: 1. **Platform Utility:** The platform is useful and is already being utilized by many community members. It is a valuable addition to the Arbitrum DAO platform. With continuous updates and engagement, it will serve as the first point of contact for both new and existing Arbitrum users. 2. **Cost Concerns:** The major concern highlighted by the community members revolves around cost. Specifically: Addressing each question in detail: 1. **“In accordance with the fact that the outcome criteria are unclear, the cost of this work is also unclear”** 2. **What’s the difference between the first item and the fourth item?** 3. **Why do you need “Community Contribution Incentives” and how do you plan to distribute them?** 4. **The second item literally mentioned “Reports,” but separate reports have their dedicated budget, which doesn’t make sense.** 5. **What would Advisors do and why does each advisor deserve $2k?** 6. **Also, we believe the sustainability of the tool shouldn’t only come from the DAO. Is the plan going to keep asking the budgets from the DAO to maintain the dashboard forever? How should the DAO evaluate the outcome from maintaining the dashboard?** 7. **Regarding @jameskbh’s question on collaboration, meetings, leads, and community contributions:** **Conclusion:** After carefully considering all the feedback, we have made changes and removed some elements from the proposal, resulting in a reduced budget compared to what was originally proposed. Please note that reducing the budget will not decrease the scope of taking ArbitrumHub to the next steps. We also agree with the community’s concerns. Therefore, we have revised the budget and removed some of the action items that were overlapping. We hope to continue serving ArbitrumDAO and look forward to the relevant support from the community. ---

Thank you, @swmartin, for your positive feedback, support, and suggestions. We agree that adding data points with dashboards can be a great addition to ArbitrumHub, and this is something we are already planning to implement. We have some integrations and custom plans in place for handling such data. Although we cannot 100% guarantee integration with Dune at this point, we will definitely find a way to make it work. Regarding integrations, we are in discussions with TogetherCrew to integrate a community dashboard, and with the Regen Finance team to integrate budget reports that will be released monthly. Additionally, we will be creating custom dashboards related to multisigs and more. The list is limitless, and we will make sure to address the major needs of the DAO, making ArbitrumHub an important addition to the DAO. The good thing about ArbitrumHub is that it is 100% open-source, allowing anyone to contribute or build on the foundation we have set. Thank you. ---

Thank you, @cp0x. We removed the advisor element since its role is effectively being fulfilled through surveys, meetings, community events, and incentivized contributions as also being pointed out by james. Additionally, we have reduced the number of DAO sync reports from 6 per month to 5 per month, resulting in an overall cost reduction of $55.2k. Thank you. ---

Correct me if I misunderstood your budget table 1. hoomandigital 0x\_Buidler and ChaiT **receive 108k** 2. 0x\_Buidler and ChaiT **receive 102k** 3. hoomandigital 0x\_Buidler and ChaiT **receive 108k** 4. ocandocrypto **receives 36k** Thus hoomandigital 0x\_Buidler and ChaiT gets 108k each (18k per month) 1. I think that this is an inadequately large salary when the top website programmer receives 10k 2. Receiving 6k per month for preparing a report is also an inadequate cost 3. Why we need Community Contribution Incentives? What for? This must be excluded **Summary: I think that this job may have a budget of no more than 200k** ---

Thank you, @cp0x, for your input. To address your doubts and concerns, here is our detailed response: ### Overview We are working on the ArbitrumHub platform, a sophisticated integration of resources, skills, and technologies. Over the past few months, we have voluntarily contributed to ArbitrumDAO by building, maintaining, expanding, and collaborating with multiple leads within the DAO to enhance its usefulness. Comparing it with a simple website work is an understatement; it is a comprehensive application developed exclusively for ArbitrumDAO. The proposed budget is for **next six months** and an overview is defined below: **1. Agenda-1 & Agenda-4** A dedicated team at [@hoomandigital](https://www.hooman.digital/work), with @ChaiT and @0x_Buidler (me) serving as points of contact, will handle Agenda 1 and 4. These agendas require a blend of extensive skills, resources, time, and commitment. _ **Key areas include the 5 phases of development in multiple sequential cycles:** _ _**Dev - Test - QA -UAT - Live : Each cycle comprises it’s own environment for TQM (Total QUality Management) per best practices of software development.**_ _ **Furthermore, resources engaged in each cycle are not the same, neither is either cycle co-terminus. The program plan includes a 4 week contingency as well as standby resources to backfill any unforeseen gaps.** _ _ **Dev and Test comprises the same team, QA and UAT are different team members / resources.** _ - UI/UX Prototyping & Wireframing - Design - Content Creation (horizontal, technical and non technical) - Uptime and Maintenance (Infrastructure) - Core Development & Platform Engineering - Research & Development Exercises (horizontal across multiple Arbitrum verticals) - Handling Community Contributions - Managing Proper Tools and Resources Our goal is to create a future-proof platform that meets the needs of the DAO, ensuring continuous iteration and improvement based on best practices. We cannot afford to leave any room for error. **While we may continue to decompose each area within the aforementioned, the summary above that’s gone one level lower should provide all the clarification.** **2. Agenda 2** @ChaiT and @0x_Buidler (me) will lead Agenda 2, which involves hosting regular meetings and compiling comprehensive reports. These reports will cover: - Community discussions and ideas exchanged - Reporting on meeting outcomes and actions been taken - Outcomes from one-on-one meetings with stakeholders - Detailed ongoing initiatives and features based on community feedback - Grant efficacy reports, analysing the success of various programs (e.g., DeFi, DePIN, Content, IBS) to assess their impact on the ARB ecosystem - Planned Vs. Actuals on grantees and status reports and snapshots (example below) ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/arbitrum1/original/2X/e/eb2bcb38733344dd85e0039c0a108d1b735cb41d.jpeg) **3. Angela’s Contributions (Agenda-5)** Angela has been contributing to the DAO for the past 5-6 months by creating weekly reports voluntarily. These reports, officially endorsed and utilized by the Arbitrum Foundation and the DAO, demonstrate significant value proposition and ongoing dedication/work. **While contributors’ times are well appreciated, this is not eternally gratis, and adequate compensation for helping develop accurate, timely, and complex reports is necessary to ensure continuity.** **4. Community Incentives** Community incentives are crucial for encouraging active participation and enhancing ArbitrumDAO’s operations. We aim to motivate contributors by rewarding their efforts in: - Idea sharing to improve hub visibility and activity - Creating educational resources (content, DAO papers, project papers, demos etc) - Contributions to Arbitrum Hub via hackathons, swarm exercises (testing, technical writing, scrum exercises, new project ideas, product demonstrations, polling, etc) - Launching bounties for specific topics and/or projects - And more. We will ensure transparency in fund distribution, highlighting the impact of each contribution. Our primary objective is to foster greater community engagement and recognize the time, work, and energy invested by community members, ultimately bolstering the goodwill of the Arbitrum DAO. ### Final Remarks Comparing ArbitrumHub to a basic website or standard job isn’t feasible. Operating within a DAO introduces unique challenges that demand significant resources, time, and commitment. Both ArbitrumHub and the weekly DAO sync reports have consistently received endorsements and active usage from Arbitrum, key DAO figures & community, highlighting their value proposition to the DAO. Considering these factors, we find our proposed budget to be reasonable. * * * I hope this clarifies our position and highlights the extensive work involved with arbitrumhub and the overall initiative. Thank you ---

The dedicated team at hooman digital and 0x\_buidler, chait being lead and angela creating dao sync reports etc…which are already being utilized by foundation and endorsed by members with significant collaborations, has demonstrated exceptional commitment and technical expertise. **Key Highlights:** **1. Comprehensive Development Approach:** - The ArbitrumHub platform extends far beyond a basic application platform; it is an advanced, future-proof application tailored for ArbitrumDAO. - The structured development phases—Dev, Test, QA, UAT, and Live—ensure top-notch quality management, and demonstrates a commitment to quality management and responsible process maturity and best practices with specialized teams handling each phase, underscoring a dedication to excellence. . This should not be discounted. **2. Expert Team and Resources:** - A skilled team at Hooman Digital is managing critical agendas with clear points of contact and a contingency plan to address unforeseen challenges. - Core activities include UI/UX prototyping, design, content creation, infrastructure maintenance, platform engineering, R&D, and community management. **3. Community and Stakeholder Engagement:** - Regular meetings, comprehensive reporting, and community contributions are crucial aspects of the plan. Community feedback is valued and integrated into ongoing initiatives. - Angela’s voluntary contributions over the past 5-6 months have been instrumental and merit adequate compensation to ensure the continuity of high-quality reporting. **4. Incentives and Transparency:** - Community incentives are recognized as vital for driving active participation and enhancing DAO operations. The approach includes rewards for idea sharing, educational content creation, hackathons, and bounties (and more). - Transparency in fund distribution should be maintained, ensuring every contribution is acknowledged and rewarded appropriately. Given the complexity and scale of the ArbitrumHub platform, along with the unique challenges of operating within a DAO structure, the proposed budget is both reasonable and essential. The team’s commitment to creating a valuable and impactful platform for ArbitrumDAO is unwavering. Alani Kuye ---

Thanks for the detailed description, but unfortunately I never saw the detailed budget. I see the right goals and good prospects, but for such a budget amount, I believe that the development and maintenance of this hub should be for at least 3 years, and maybe more. Also, you need to break this budget into parts ---

Our primary objective is to foster greater community engagement and recognize the time, work, and energy invested by community members, ultimately bolstering the goodwill of the Arbitrum DAO. Regarding the three-year term, we initially did not want to propose something too extensive at once. We have proposed a six-month term to establish a solid foundation for ArbitrumHub and ensure its usefulness, which will then be followed by longer terms. We have been working on this initiative for over six months and understand the amount and type of work required to achieve our goals. Lastly, we have reconsidered the budget where necessary already, and the current budget reflects the resources, time, and commitment required, as well as the value proposition it offers to the DAO as a whole.

Thank you for the proposal @0x_Buidler - I agree with the sentiment shared by other delegates that the suggested budget for this work seems a bit excessive. Can you please share some links from other DAOs where such budgets have been allocated for this type of work either for you or other service providers? - While the first iteration of this project can have a centralised approach to make this efficient, this can be a threat in the future, where the admins essentially have a monopoly over ‘what is true’. It would be great to see an outline of how the larger DAO or other delegates can join the operations and decision making process going forward ---

I **abstained** from voting on this proposal. Since I am somewhat involved in this proposal, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to vote on it. However, I am always open to feedback and committed to providing value to the DAO. _I will keep delegates informed of updates and look for new ways to improve communication, regardless of the outcome._ I will also pay attention to comments and any concerns and will collaborate as much as possible.
